“Because fans expect championships almost annually," he said, "they easily become frustrated and are not going to buy into what the odds actually are: one in 20 or one in 30."

This. It’s not solely about growing talent and the farm system. A good team utilizes both. I wish they kept JT around for all these young hitters. At least Story can be a sounding board for improving defense.
But for me it’s all in starting pitching. At least we have an ace this year. But we should’ve fought harder for Imanaga or Yamamoto. Or any other free agent Ace.
If we had either one of those kind of pieces, we would easily be in a better spot in the division, not just fighting for wild card spots.
I love how this is the narrative that they’re telling everyone, but they told Breslow to cut spending and then don’t make moves to be competitive in the most competitive division in baseball. Oh and also we keep signing injured players or injury prone players now whenever we do sign someone? Love it. Totally appeases the fan base.
I thought I remember hearing he had something that prevented him from giving full seasons in 20 and like 22 or something. It’s possible I could be confusing him with Cease as far as the injury history.
Giolito for sure. Mondesi who never even played a game for us. Those come to the front of my mind for me, though I’m sure there are some pitchers in the mix I’m forgetting about. At least O’Neil is producing a bit.

Oh they are definitely putting it together and working with the tools they have, I’m very happy with being at 500 this year. Just sucks there is so much weight on just a couple of guys. I was really hoping for Giolito to be healthy and have a good season after losing Sale (another losing trade for us imo). But Rafaela is the light for me. Love watching him play.
